Last year I got introduced to the pleasures of a good Margarita during my business trip to the United States when I sampled them at a number of Mexican restaurants.
As a souvenir of sorts, I picked up a massive bottle of Jose Cuervo pre-mixed Margarita from BevMo that I guzzled up within a couple of weeks.
After that, I decided to learn to mix Margaritas on my own, and I found a great recipe on the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), when my inbox got flooded with cool Mexican recipes including this awesome one for Margaritas.
I am trying this out this weekend, hopefully, my efforts come out looking this pretty :).

Yummy!
I love margaritas, too! It’s my cocktail of choice, and the salt around the rim is a necessity. 🙂
I love, love, love a good margarita! This one looks so pretty.
